That brusque old Scotchman, Senator
Beck of Kentucky, while somewhat er-
ratio in his political views and opinions has
blunt way of answering questions that
often characterizes his utterances for frank
ness rather than for being polite He was
in Chicago day or two ago and when
asked whether there was any doubt that
President Cleveland would be nominated
for second term, said: mot in the least.
Cleveland is the only advanced Democrat
the country has seen In two centuries 3"
When asked as to the vice. presidential can
didate he replied:
Now let me see; there's Colquit of
Georgia, General Black of Illinois and
Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson of
the same place, treading on each others
corns My candidate is Secretary Lamar
of Mississippi. He is the southern candi-
date for vice-president.
There is no sort of doubt that the south
ern Democrats. who do the principal part
of the voting are becoming tired of being
made hewers of wood and drawers of
water, so to speak, and that they will
assert their right to representation on the
ticket now seems pretty clearly settled.
They failed twice, In the cases of Gratz
Brown and Frank Blair, but acting upon
the superstition that the third time is the

a CORNER IN BEET-ROOT SUGAR

a CORNER IN BEEI-ROOI SUGAR.
From the New York Tines.
Gables to the Coffee Exchange and many
firms yesterday told of a successful corner
in German beetroot sugar In London for
August delivery. 1t is the work Of a
syndicate of German capitalists who OPP
crate through London houses. The ad-
vance began on August 90, when August
sugar was forced up from 12s Cd per hun
bred weight to lbs 1t went up Sd more
the next week, and yesterday reached 13s
10 I'D. That the corner in August really
exists is shown by the fact that September,
which sold at 12s I'D on Tues
day, was at 12s Cd yesterday.
The syndicate was formed some
time ago and has been greatly helped By
the backwsrdness Of the growing beet crop
and the probability Of short production,
together with the small stock of beet sugar
now on hand The syndicate probably got
the large quantities Of spot sugar 1t holds
for about 12s 3D. II still has the control OF
them, not yet having unlosded. Mr.. John
H. Tobias, of Wauzor, Tobias & Co. said
yesterday that the London corner would
not be likely TO have any great effect here,
except that the importation OF beet root
sugar would be reduced In August, 1855,
$500 tons were imported. and In the fol-
lowing months 500 tons. This year the
amount will be great deal smaller.

GIVE Us a CHANGE.

| Harper county is in the throes of civi
revolution, SO to speak, that may culminat
in conflict before the trouble is settled
all growing out of contest for the re
moval of the county seat. The EAGLE il
not partisan as between the contestin@
points for the permanent location of the
county seat. If it were expedient We
would be pleased to see each of the rivals
enjoy the distinction; nor is it our purpose
to discuss the merits or dement's of this
contest, for of a truth, we have not given
the matter enough study to form an opin-
ion upon it. What we do wish to say is
simply to deprecate this and all other sim
liar proceedings and to call the attention of
those who may constitute the next state
legisl allure to the omission of the law in
the m after of establishing county seats
with the hope that some means may be de-
vised and enacted into law
whereby this constantly recurring
and extremely veXatious and harmful
question shall be determined once for all
time.
In this connection we don't know of a
better plan than that adopted by the state
of Tennessee and engrafted In her organic
law; that is, to locate the county seat as
near the geographical center of a new
county, as it may be formed, as the surface
of the country will admit, and when thus
established place it beyond the power of
contestants to disturb It, The result of
that plan in Tennessee has been to save the
people the worry and expense of such con-
tests as the one now On in Harper, which
have occurred in other counties and which
will continue to distract the people of still
other counties and sections and retard
rather than advance the material progress
and prosperity of the people and the social
relations of the communities

a CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

| The assertion is made by firm who
have been making recent surveys, that be
tween 1000 and 1900 acres of land thai
formerly were in Walnut township has, by
the shifting of the river. been transferred
to Platte county, Missouri. This property,
according to VIM. c. Sauer & Co., who
are publishing new county atlas of Atch.

years, although the revenue should have
gone to Platte county, Missouri. The bend
In the river as it now exists, is not accu-
rately shown on existing maps, thus giving
wrong impression to the taxing authori'
ties, and it remained for Sauer & Co. to
make the discovery. A number OF fami-
lies live on the tract who are about to Pc
tition for an adjustment of the tangle
brought about by the shifting Mis-
souri.-Atchison Champion.
The shifting Of river has nothing to do
with the boundary line between states or
elsewhere, the line being fixed by the origi-
nal survey. This principle was established
several years ago in a contest between Mis-
souri, and Kentucky growing out of the
shifting of the Mississippi river. A body
of land nine miles long and from one to
three miles wide, known as Wolf island
was detached from Kentucky by the chan
mel of the river cutting through slough.

Kentucky contested the claim in the United
States court and the case was decided In the
latter's favor upon the point above set
forth. Precedent. therefore, in similar
case is against Platte county's claim.
